I don't know about you, but I can get into anything. Even if it's the dullest, scariest, or most unpleasant activity. Sounds like a superpower, huh?
No, because I haven't told you about the cost yet.
A chemical reaction won't kick off until molecules overcome the energy barrier. To get the system into a transition state, you need activation energy. It's measured in joules per mole.
For some tasks, I have to invest an insane amount of those joules. For instance:
Dealing with a psycho or a bore.
A problem that's either too basic or too convoluted.
Memorizing gibberish or conjuring a Wow-idea on the spot.
In those moments, it's like staring into the abyss. I know there's a chance to leap over it, but it takes a complete surrender to the challenge.
What's the way out? Always ask yourself: "What's it all for?".
It's not about the cost at all. You can give up a lot. But is the sacrifice justified? Or is it just another attempt to tie legs to a drawn snake?
Nobody finds your meaning in anything but you.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
